To Absent Friends	comment	Two or more heroes gather to grieve for a dead comrade, with a toast or without a formalized structure. They reminiscence about the fallen, how much he will be missed—or has been missed. An actual wake is possible, as the bereaved can talk and drink without a ceremony to go through. Or they may meet somewhere, and talk about what A True Hero their friend had been. (They may not even intend to grieve, but they end up doing so.) A bar is likely, because the wake often involves alcohol—so often that it generally does not appear only if it is impossible. Expect the dead to be toasted and honored. (Drowning My Sorrows may convert into this if the drinker bumps into another friend.) Sometimes the drink is poured on the ground as a Libation for the Dead. Sometimes the absent friends are represented by empty chairs. Soldiers on a mission may start to talk, and lead to this, if they are waiting for something and have lost a comrade. (The situation in which alcohol is least likely to feature. But the Military Moonshiner may have some.) The informal equivalent of a Meaningful Funeral. Possibly it immediately precedes or follows it, although that is unlikely, because the two scenes concentrate on the same emotions, and so are likely to duplicate. Also compare Personal Effects Reveal. May also feature long after the death (or deaths) as characters remember all their dead and tell stories of them. The toast is often "To absent friends." This can overlap with Tell Me About My Father. Suitable for a Bittersweet Ending or a Downer Ending, but can happen anywhere in a story—even as a Framing Device at the very beginning of a work that Starts with Their Funeral. Remembering the sacrifice may inspire characters to fight on, lest it have been a Senseless Sacrifice. Contrast Forgotten Fallen Friend, Dead Guy Junior. Death Trope. Spoilers follow.

Many of the flashbacks turn out to be important to the plot and the events surrounding his death. It is specifically a quote of the Elvis Costello song listed below.

To Absent Friends / int_14d341dc	comment	The Star Trek Online Literary Challenge 68 fanfics "Remembrance of the Fallen" and "To Absent Friends" both deal with the Day of Remembrance, a minor Bajoran holy day dedicated to remembering the dead (it's based on the Latin American Day of the Dead). You leave food offerings of the deceased's favorites at their graveside and share stories about them with your friends and family. The latter fic also has the trope name as a toast offered to the forty-five names on the USS Bajor's memorial wall.

With the hordes of Hel in hot pursuit, it becomes clear that someone must stay behind to delay Hela's forces long enough for Thor's army to escape. Skurge the Executioner settles whether he or Thor will say You Shall Not Pass! (by knocking out Thor), and Skurge asks Balder to remember him with a toast when he and Thor return to Asgard. Later, when Thor and Skurge meet in Hel, Skurge asks if he and Balder had that drink, and Thor is grieved to have to tell him that crises have kept them too busy to do so. They later do.

To Absent Friends / int_1a995e1b	comment	Fifty Fifty (1992): Subverted hilariously at the end of the movie. At the end of the climactic battle, Jake and Sam are both very badly wounded, but the crowds storming the palace are preventing Sprue from reaching them. The next scene is at an outdoor cafe in Rome, where Sprue, alone, has purchased three glasses of champagne. He lifts one and toasts Jake and Sam, saying "sorry you couldn't make it." Just as he's about to drink, Jake yells from off camera "Sprue, you rummy! You couldn't even wait for us?" He and Sam walk up, bandaged and on crutches, but otherwise fine. It turns out Sprue did wait for them, but they were forty-five minutes late. Played straight later in that same scene, of course, when Jake and Sam remember Suleta, who really did die in the war.

It is the saddest spaghetti ever. Vash also pours a bottle of whiskey off an observation platform in the anime version of Inepril. Not even clear just who he's honoring, but it's probably the dead.

To Absent Friends / int_73d7930f	comment	Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: In the episode "The Sound of Her Voice", the crew of the Defiant holds a wake for Lisa Cusak, which ends with Miles O'Brien making a speech. Made even more moving by the fact that this is the very end of the episode before Jadzia's death, arguably the first true main cast kill outside of the films. Done more lightheartedly when Julian and O'Brien come off the holodeck dressed as Spitfire pilots, and raise a pint of bitter "To Clive!" In "Once More Unto the Breach" Martok despised Kor for decades because Kor struck him from an officer candidate list. If not for his heroic actions as a civilian laborer on a General's ship during battle, he never would have become a General as he had received a battlefield commission for his actions. By the Dominion War Kor was beginning to suffer from cognitive issues due to his age. Kor sacrifices himself to save Martok's task force from the Jem'Hadar, finally earning Martok's respect. Martok then offers a toast to Kor, with Worf and all the bridge crew taking part in drinking to Kor's memory. "Strange Bedfellows" features a sarcastic one after Weyoun 7 is killed: Damar (who always hated him) toasts him when Weyoun 8 shows up, while making jokes about his death.

He begins listing off the casualties they suffered over the course of the Battle of the Bulge and the corresponding soldiers start fading away until the church looks far emptier than it did before. It's a particularly heart-rending scene.

In Mass Effect 3, several characters do this as the body count climbs. Tali actually gets plastered while mourning Miranda, if the latter doesn't survive Sanctuary. This happens even if she does survive, in which case Tali drowns her sorrows regarding their different sorts of Daddy Issues. (Dialog suggests this is the real reason even if the other is dead; toasting her was just something Tali thought of while highly drunk. They weren't on the best of terms.)

Kirk drops the trope name in a toast to Spock at the beginning of the scene in his apartment. Also played straight in Star Trek: Nemesis after Data is killed while destroying the Scimitar to save the Enterprise. Happens twice in Star Trek Beyond. First, the film begins a few days before Kirk's birthday, and McCoy pours himself and Kirk shots, and a third, representing Kirk's lost father who was killed saving him as he was born. They tap their shot glasses to the extra glass, then to each others'. Then, towards the end, at his surprise birthday party, Kirk offers the toast, "To the Enterprise. And to absent friends."

And then the Dark Reprise of "The Story of Tonight", "Tomorrow There'll Be More Of Us", is John Laurens doing this to himself as the Hamiltons read the letter containing the news of his death. The beginning of the finale, "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story" is this for Hamilton, as Jefferson and Madison list his accomplishments. It quickly expands into the other fallen members of the cast as Eliza tells how she plans to honor Hamilton's legacy: recording the stories of revolutionary soldiers (upon which Laurens and Mulligan reappear), she commissions the Washington monument to honor George Washington (who is also dead by this point), she fights for abolition (carrying on the work of Hamilton and Laurens), and she founds an orphanage for orphans like Hamilton himself.

Apollo's retirement toast is an awesome example of the trope, involving five shots of a potent drink—quite possibly eau de flight deck. There's a great one in the season two episode "Scar," where Starbuck (at the celebration of the new "top gun" pilot that unseated her) tries to toast all the deceased pilots by name/callsign. This one is especially moving given that she had earlier claimed that she didn't remember any of their names and didn't care to because they were dead and gone so who caresâ€¦

It is Phil Collins' lead vocal debut with Genesis, on the first record he recorded with the band, five years before he became the band's full-time lead singer. The Opeth song is actually named after the Genesis song.

To Absent Friends / int_dee37309	comment	The song "Alabanza" for Abuela Claudia in In the Heights. Just after Kevin begins spreading the news that she has passed, Usnavi, still reeling, delivers the coroner's report and an impromptu eulogy to the others in the barrio. They then join in raising her memory to God (because, as Usnavi points out, alabanza, her favorite word, means "to raise this thing to God's face"). It's very much a Tear Jerker moment.

To Absent Friends / int_e6267766	comment	Star Wars Legends: Fairly common amongst New Republic fighter pilots, especially the Rogue and Wraith squadrons of the X-Wing Series. Notably, whenever the Wraiths do it, somebody is obliged to make a smartass remark. For example, the end of Iron Fist, after Face has been released from the medical ward: In Dark Rendezvous, Yoda loses both of the Jedi Knights traveling with him to an ambush, forcing their Padawans to continue the mission alone with him. As soon as they get a moment of peace, Yoda arranges a meal and a (non-alcoholic) toast in honor of the fallen Knights.

"If only my parents were with us today... but they are really here... right now... hi, Mom... hiya, pop..." Most of the family watches him give his speech, while Warren's head rolls around in meds-induced ecstasy.

To Absent Friends / int_f8705c18	comment	In the ending credits of Hellsing OVA 5. Sir Irons walks to a grave at night with three cups, and a bottle of alcohol. It isn't quite Libation for the Dead, as he pours the three glasses at the head stone, and reminisces about the past (as a church choir sings), where he Pennington, and Arthur Hellsing were friends, and how they organized the fall of the Vampire oriented Nazi branch. He is alone because Pennington just died in the episode. In the end, the three glasses lie at the head stone, as the candle goes out (the only sound effect in the entire scene), revealing the headstone to be Arthur's.

As the events of the episode wear down on Scotty, he takes a private moment alone in a holodeck simulation of the original Enterprise, where he toasts to his now-gone comrades. Picard then joins him and they share a toast, this time to absent ships—the original Enterprise for Scotty, and the Stargazer (his first assignment as a captain) for Picard.
